Jim McIlroy (pictured right) is a long time socialist activist who I have known for 45 years. In my audio work I also contribute to the Socialist Voices podcast produced by Scottish Socialist Party and this interview was designed for that outlet. In

I am not usually one for public confessions, but I feel that something must be said. You can imagine how difficult this is for me to admit to. I am just an ordinary Joe Blow trying to make their own way in the world. There's nothing special about me. An

Pick a day — any day — and there is sure to be a lot of human semen entering the world from private parts unknown. What it gets up to — when it gets out there — is anyone's guess. Each day there's buckets of the stuff discharging forth half a te
